Forge

As the title says, I want to know if the developers still intend to implement LAN play into the game. Before the game went F2P it was one of the things that was supposedly in the works, but since then I haven't been able to find anything that would support this. I've posted this concern in mutiple discussions since then but it hasn't been acknowledged; as far as I can tell they don't read these posts at all. Does anyone have any insight on this?
